Synopsis Real Face of Kakashi

Naruto is beginning to question Kakashi’s mysterious mask. Sasuke and Sakura initially are against Naruto’s plan to discover the truth, however, they eventually join Naruto’s side. Team 7 attempts to figure out how to invite him over for ramen, but their plan is blocked with the help of Ino and her crew, who suddenly appear at the scene to welcome Sasuke as well as stop Team Seven from seeing Kakashi’s visage. The Moya Brothers show up.
The group is soon assigned a low-rank mission which involves rebuilding the farm that is located in the Fire Country. The team departs for the farm and does not realize that they are being pursued by the Moya Brothers, who were looking for Kakashi with the intent of taking revenge for his actions. In the past, the brothers’ leader, Aniki, tried to defeat a woman using force, however, he ended up being stopped by Kakashi, who tied him up with his brothers Mo and Ya.
The group arrives at Okami’s restaurant, where they are invited to join, but they are substituted by Aniki who puts a drug in the food she provides Kakashi which will induce him to sweat violently. However, Kakashi, in order to prevent being attacked by Naruto, removes the food.
The Brothers continue to attempt to injure Kakashi by using various tricks, but they are unsuccessful in reaching their goals. In the meantime, Team 7 continues with their mission of figuring out the mystery behind Kakashi’s mask.
This time at the hot springs, however, they are astonished by Kakashi who is able to enter the water wearing the white mask. Sasuke and Naruto visit the locker room and discover the Moya Brothers’ clothing and use them as part of their plan to uncover Kakashi’s real face. After their time in the room, Team 7 proceeds to repair the farm.
They attempt to fend off Kakashi wearing the Moya Brothers’ clothes. The Moya Brothers, seeing the clothes they were wearing, assumed they were other Ninja who were planning to take on Kakashi and reveal who they are. However, during their opening speeches, Kakashi had already tied up his own team, and begins to tie them up exactly the way he had done three years before. Kakashi ties up the team he has.
When the mission is completed, Kakashi’s team returns to Konoha and during the trip, Naruto and his team declare that they are exhausted, as they haven’t figured out what they were doing all day. After which, Naruto is exhausted of trying to make his point and demands Kakashi to reveal what the man behind the mask looks like and, ironically, Kakashi appears to be eager to display the mask.
Then, his pupils begin thinking about what their sensei’s actual face might look like. Sakura believes that he has large lips, Sasuke thinks he has large teeth and Naruto affirms that he has a small mouth. But, Kakashi reveals that behind his mask, there is another one, and when he does, he laughs as the genin are shocked.
